Modern Monetary Theory

Agree

No, and increase penalties for hate speech

Given MMT's alignment with progressive policies, there might be support for increasing penalties for hate speech as a means to protect marginalized communities and promote social justice, reflecting a broader progressive agenda that MMT proponents often support.

Agree

No

While MMT itself does not directly address the issue of hate speech, its general alignment with progressive values suggests a potential support for measures that protect individuals from hate speech. This is based on the broader progressive agenda that often includes combating discrimination and promoting inclusivity.

Neutral

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

MMT as an economic theory does not provide a clear stance on the nuances of free speech versus hate speech. However, the conditional acceptance of hate speech as long as it does not threaten violence might be seen as a compromise position that does not directly align or conflict with MMT principles.

Disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

Although MMT focuses on economic policies, its association with progressive movements suggests a skepticism towards unrestricted hate speech. The distrust of government in defining hate speech boundaries might conflict with a progressive trust in government to enact protective regulations for social welfare.

Disagree

Yes

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) primarily focuses on macroeconomic policy and government spending, not directly on issues of free speech or hate speech. However, proponents of MMT often align with progressive policies that emphasize social justice, which might lead them to oppose unrestricted hate speech due to its potential to harm marginalized communities.

Strongly disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

MMT's focus on economic policy does not inherently limit the scope of free speech protections to government criticism. This position might be seen as overly restrictive and not in line with the broader progressive values that MMT proponents typically support, which often include robust protections for civil liberties.
